You have before you two glasses of amontillado wine - one made this year and one made many years ago. you have claimed to be an expert wine connoisseur (now that you are 21 years old, of course) and able to "taste the age" of the wine. if you can determine which one is older, and its age, then you receive an entire cask of this wine! unfortunately, you have a cold and cannot taste any difference between the two. luckily, you have your handy-dandy pocket instrument that is capable of detecting (e.g., counting) tritium decay (tritium is a naturally-occurring, radioactive isotope of hydrogen). tritium undergoes beta-decay with a half-life of 12.26 years. the glass on the left has sixty-four times fewer tritium counts than the glass on the right. page 2 of 2
a. based on the information provided above, explain how the age of the wine in each glass can be determined, and determine the (numerical) age of each wine.
b. explain what assumption(s) are necessary in order to be able to compare the tritium counts in the two glasses of wine.
